!!Please remember!!
This snippet is still a pre-version and some things might not work properly. Please backup your images and/or MODx installation (only files, database is not needed by SPGM).
If you have any questions, comments or hints of better coding or for problem solving, please feel very free to do this here.
Also I’m looking for testers, cause it is only running at my own site at the moment and I need some feedback. Thanks to all volunteers
!
Cheers,
